Although we list these exercises for your "lips and cheeks" - they will in fact exercise more areas in your face - and after performing these exercises, you may feel that the muscles on other areas of your face have also been used.

These exercises should be done once a day, and this regimen can be continued for your entire life, or you could scale down to three times a week, after completing a month of daily exercises.Some people report that minor spots or blemishes appear after starting facial exercises, and yes, it is normal.The skin is once again stimulated to produce its natural oils and lubricants and these minor spots may appear when starting facial exercises.When the skin is functioning efficiently and correctly again these spots will disappear. The skin gets lazy and stagnate, but with proper exercises these cells are once again activated to work with renewed vigor.
